For me, freedom wasn’t a number. It was the day I actually realized I didn’t need the market to validate me anymore. I started off as a novice, just like everyone, and one day woke up realizing I was an expert.
It was an incredible feeling - having the market pay me consistently. It wasn't that I was suddenly smarter, it's just that experience taught me how to see repeating patterns and take advantage of situations as they arose.
Final Lesson: The market is a mirror. Master yourself — and the reflection changes.
